SURFACE PREPARATION:
Concrete Flooring
Remove oil and grease by using detergents or degreasers. Painting over a roughened concrete floor is recommended to improve adhesion of succeeding coats.

Metal Surfaces
Wipe the surface with a rag soaked in paint thinner to remove grease, oil, wax and other foreign matter. For new galvanized surfaces, etch the surface by applying 10%  BOYSEN^® Metal Etching Solution B-71 (Dilute 1 part of B-71 to 9 parts water). Rinse with water and dry immediately.

Unpainted galvanized surfaces that have been exposed for 6 months or more need not be etched.

Treat rusted steel by sanding and wire brushing. Use BOYSEN^® Metal Etching Solution B-71 on remaining rust. Let it stay for 10 – 15 minutes. Be sure to remove all remaining residue. Immediately prime after drying.

PAINTING SCHEDULE:
Concrete Flooring
Mix 3 parts of BOYSEN^® Epoxy Primer White B-2200 to 1 part of its catalyst. (Pot life: 5 hours) Allow 20 minutes induction time then thin the prepared mixture with BOYSEN^® Epoxy Reducer B-55 in a 1:1 ratio. Apply as primer coating on bare concrete. Let dry overnight.
